I think this election is going to determine what my state is. If Granholm is re-elected governor and Stabenow is re-elected senator, Michigan will become a solid Democrat state, however if one fails re-election or both, there's still a possibility of keeping the "swing-state" status, and the Republicans could make some gains. What do you think?
You may be right. In fact, should Granholm and Stabbenow be re-elected and, indeed, Michigan does become a solid Democratic state, I'd be delighted
; however, I think it will always be a closely fought state in a liberal vs conservative presidential race though I believe it's feasible that a socially moderate Democrat could make it safer. I wouldn't say the state was liberal (22% according to CNN exit poll, moderates 44% and conservatives 34%). It's a state the GOP can win
